We have a few exciting updates to share with the community this week from our amazing team of Learning Designers.
AP 2D Art & Design
Fab Lab
In FabLab, our learners have been actively engaged in crafting their unique fabric designs, serving as creative expressions of their chosen cultures and personal values.
Recently, they participated in an engaging workshop focusing on mark-making and pattern creation, employing linocut and ink techniques.
They also ventured into the world of textile transformation, experimenting with various fabric dyeing and bleaching methods, and gaining a deeper insight into the production process.
Importantly, they also honed their skills in assessing risks and mitigating hazards during these experiments, promoting a safe and responsible approach to their creative endeavors.
To supplement their compositional skills, the students also had the opportunity to explore tessellation during one of our workshops, further enriching their artistic toolbox.
Our students immersed themselves in the world of expressive abstract art, acquiring the ability to communicate complex emotions and sentiments through non-representational imagery, a valuable skill that transcends the need for literal figures and subjects.
As we conclude this productive week, our learners are not only applying their newfound artistic skills but also enhancing their writing abilities.
They are formulating compelling questions, crafting well-structured claims, supporting them with evidence, and providing sound reasoning to guide their creative journey.
This multidisciplinary approach ensures a holistic development of their technical and critical thinking skills; and a strong sense of responsibility when conducting creative experiments.
